A rising star’s first day in an F1 car
The day began damp and grey at Silverstone, but it marked a first for Luke Browning as he climbed into a Formula 1 car for his maiden outing, the culmination of a lifetime’s work. After winning the 2022 Aston Martin Autosport BRDC Young Driver of the Year Award, Browning earned a test in Aston Martin’s AMR21, which he found quick and exciting through the low-speed corners. He was amazed by the refinement and smoothness of the F1 car compared to his experience in F3, feeling like he was driving a sportscar on the road. Browning took the opportunity to test both wet and slick tires, completing 44 laps and taking in around 150 miles of running. Despite the lingering nerves, walking into the garage and seeing his name on the halo of the F1 car was an absolute dream come true for Browning.
